Alphas Book One: The Finding

Six

"What do you mean dead?" Dad asks her. "I'm just pulling there chain, Chris." She says. I could feel my heartbeat return to normal. "Have you guys felt any different?" Dad asks us. We all look at each other.

No way I'm telling them. "If we did, would that be bad?" Zander asks them. "Well particularly for you guys,no but to the world, it could lead to another bunch of Alpha-rebellions." Dad says. Oh that's just great.

A confused expression comes across Sky's face. "Alpha-rebellions?" She says. "Yes Skylarr. About twenty years ago when Chris and I started to work here, the rebellions started. Almost every Alpha joined in to stop the then biased government. Half of them died while the others are in holding cells here." Mom smiles at me.

"So no mutations?" She asks. We shake our heads. I know what would happen if I say anything. The best thing is to be quiet until we actually know what's happening.

"We need you guys to do us a favor." Dad opens a table before taking out three separate folders that had Classified written on the front. "Take these dossiers to Agent Jones in the Recruitment Center downstairs." Dad hands us each one folder.

After leaving through the floor door, I start to think about taking a little trip around to the holding cells. This would be a good time to do it.

"You two wanna take the long way?" I lie. "Sure." Sky and Zander both say. The truth is, there is no long way. We take a left down the first hall before quickly walking down the narrow hall.

Door after door I see not one sign that says holding cells. I start to lose hope. Maybe it's not on this hall. I say to myself.

A voice talks over the sound of the eerie ringing of the clock bell. "All staff please meet Agent Joann in the infirmary. She will brief you there. Letter out."

Agent Jones walks pasts us within three minutes of walking down the hall. "Hey Jones!" I say. He turns around, wiping his grey hair back from his face. "Here,"

I take the dossiers from Sky and Zander before handing them to him. His cold light brown eyes stare into mine.

"Don't y'all need to be in the infirmary with Joann?" He asks. "No. We're actually looking for the holding cells. Are they here?" I ask.

Jones shakes his head. "Yes they would be on the left door directly in front of D4. May I ask a question or questions?" Oh god here we go.

"Why do you need this information?"

"Um.... I read a book about you guys carrying Alpha-humans in the underground stations."

"Don't read those books, Max. They will rot your brain with false information."

"I'll make sure he doesn't." Zander adds.

"Goodbye children!" Agent Jones walks away from us. I turn around to see both Zander and Sky squinting at me with a scowl on their faces.

"What?" I ask them. "So you dragged us down here just so you could see those little super humans?!" Skylarr starts to push me against the wall as Zander watches.

"It's for research!" I yell at her. The hallway goes silent. The lights start to flicker as I Zander with a scared expression. It seemed like  someone was moving the lights. But that wasn't it.

Zander was holding his hand out like he has a ball in it. "Zander?" I whisper. Suddenly the lights shut off throughout the whole section. Alarms start to go off.

"This is not a test! I repeat this is not a test! Alphas 89 and 45 have escaped! Everyone stay calm and evacuate the premise!" Says a frightened employee.

I'm guessing now that Zander has broken the lights off of their hinges and is now somehow controlling them, he has telekinesis. A tall, skinny women runs towards him as a muscular man transforms into a wolf, coming for me.

Zander puts out his hands and pushes, throwing the lights at the girls. The lights hit the girl in her face, knocking her to the ground. But this guy, he was a freaking wolf that was sprinting towards me! I don't know what to do so I panic.

My arms outstretch to my side, I could feel the energy flowing through my veins. My arms shot out the same green energy shot from my hands. I call it Gize, meaning energizing but shortened.

Skylarr somehow summoned a lightning bolt to hit the guy but nothing happened. He is still running. I Gize again.

The wolf-guy lunges into the air before I teleport. Wait.... I just teleported?! Zander and Sky weren't with me but the guy was. He stands on his hind legs snarling at me.

"Grr! You think you can kill me with your energy little one?" He ask with a groggy voice. "I don't kill, I'll only knock you out. For example," I Gize, knocking him to the ground.

"That looked like it hurt." Wolf-guy looks at me. He  turns into a hideous creature that strongly resembles a human but with deformed skin. "Name's Shifter." Shifter shot a clear goo at my face.

Without hesitation, I drop to the white titanium floor where I spot an glass beaker. The beaker is within arms reach, so I grab it and throw it.

Around the beaker was the same color energy that exploded on impact with Shifter's chest. He flys backwards into a wall, knocking him out. "Sorry if that hurt you!" I scream.

So basically, my body was transported to another place without any device if some sort. That is pretty fascinating. I can still hear the eerie alarm going off as Shifter turns back into a man.

Maybe I should pick him up. I say to myself. Shifter breathes heavily as I surprisingly pick him up. "Uh. Super strength." I smile.

As I see Zander and Sky, Shifter starts to wake up. He groans. Something rather odd, (much odder than these powers) starts to occur. Zander sprouts wings from his back!
